As there are quite a number of people residing in the town of McHenry who are expected to make out such a return and in view of the fact that most of the people are unfamiliar with the work of making out such a blank, it will be well for these to call on the inspector on that day.

The carpenters have been working on the baleony, which is considerably larger -"than the one in the old church, and m(£r its completion they will probably be forced to lay off until the decorative work is completed, then they will again go back to woc^c to finish up the interior wood work, including the laying of the floor. A visit to the church will reveal the fact that the rebuilt structure will greatly surpass the old one, both as to beauty and conveniences. CLEAJf-DP OF THE COUNTY TOUGH SALOONS AND BLINP X PIGS MUST GO A General Cleaning Up PIPUW' HM Been Started at County Seat--Officials Watching McHenry That the real clean-up of McHenry county's "shady" saloons and blind pigs has come is evidenced from re ports that are coming from the county seat these days. The county court has just closed its work of cleaning up the village of Union and now its attention has been drawn towards the village of McHenry and the blind pigs said to have been in operation in this township. One by one, we are told, operators of blind pigs are being called over to the county seat, where officials are said to be in possession of evidence that will make us all sit up and take notice. We are told that some of the local bar-rooms have been watched very closely during the past few months and our people need not be surmised to see a clean-up in this village just as soon as the "blind piggers" are taken care of by Che court. In passing a sentence upon two Union saloonkeepers, County Judge C. P. Barnes spoke in part as follow%: "Now this selling to minors, drunkards, persotis in the Tiabit of "becoming intoxicated and this keeping open of saloons on Sundays in this county must stop. "There is general talk,, over this County by some of olir best citizens that it is a shame and a disgrace to obr county the way blind pigs have been allowed to run wide open, week days, nights and Sundays, in certain parts of our county and the keepers go unpunished. » "It can easily be proven that some of these places are common rOad houses of the worst kind artd it certainly would shock the people of our county to know Of the immoral things that have been going on in some of these places that are often frequented by girls in the icompany of men. -, "Now every one of these blind pigs is going to be closed and closed tight and kept closed even if this court has to appoint a special bailiff to stand guard at the door of each one and a criminal information is also going to be filed against each one of the keep era for what they have done in the past." * . y ' '-ij'idi Let me sfrow'you one of the most beautiful lines of sample wall paper you hate ever seen. 1.
